PECULIARITIES: Lilium
lancifolium has edible bulbs, therefore, the species has been cultivated in
China for several centuries. It has also been extensively used for hybridisation
and is an important parent of the "Midcentury Hybrids".

CULTURE
NOTES: One of the easiest lilies which can adapt to virtually each
garden condition provided a sufficient drainage.

However,
it has to be mentioned that L. lancifolium is easily affected by
virus, but without developing symptoms
because of their resitance. Therefore, this species should be cultivated
separate from other lilies, and garden tools that have been used for
cutting should be carefully desinfected!

Interesting,
not spectacular, hybrid between L. lancifolium
and L. monadelphum. Looks like a soft
salmon L. lancifolium with sterile anthers
and also produces lots of bulbils like the mother species. ~120 cm high.
